Been using it for the past two years and supporting the project. I personally love it but you do have to tinker a bit once in a while so I would hesitate to put it in the hands of my parents (though I bought them pixel just in case). Google Pay not working is mildly annoying (hoping to get PayPal or Curve eventually). Android Auto works but I didnt yet try to make voice commands work. Some app behave weird if you block access to the sensors (though it is nice to be able to do it). Sandboxed google play works great for the most part.

My workaround for using both NFC payments and Graphene OS is wearing a Google Pixel Watch (1). All other Google Wallet features besides NFC payments should work.

Sadly that solution does not work everywhere. In a lot of countries, Google Pay cards are added by the bank's app and it's on the bank to support rolling out cards on WearOS as well. A lot of banks in my country only support putting a card in Wallet on phones, but not WearOS watches (not sure if it is laziness on their part or whether security of WearOS watches is not deemed acceptable in general due to the lack of secure elements, shorter/no PINs, etc.).

Curve NFC payments work for me.
